Participatory Diagnosis of Communication Development with Rural Youth

The participatory diagnosis of communication for development with rural youth in Guatemala was a mechanism of citizen participation implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in alliance with several national ministries. The diagnosis was implemented in 2017 in the San Marcos department and counted with the participation of 140 young, 14 to 30 years old, Guatemalans that live in rural areas in this department. The purpose of this diagnosis was to identify the needs, practices and resources available to rural youth in terms of information and communication. The results were valuable inputs for the development of the FAO?s Integrated Country Approach for the Promotion of Decent Rural Youth Employment.
